Front brake dragging?????

I'll qualify this by first stating that if your brake pads aren't worn away and the brakes are in good shape, this type of brake noise is quite common, and the volume of it has many variables but the primary cause is the pad material. The pads for the most part ride in light contact with the rotor (although just minuscule) and the hydraulics simply push them tight against the rotor when you're "on" the brakes and let's 'em float when you're "off" the brakes. What little withdrawal movement there is when the pressure is "off" is barely noticeable, hence the rubbing sound. Lift the end of the bike that's of concern and spin the wheel by hand, if there's no brake drag, ride on.
